BIG STORY TODAY ---- SAMPLE PERFORMANCE FROM "HOT MIKADO"
Relax and enjoy youself as you learn a little about the wonderful performers at "Hot Mikado."
ROTARY GUEST NIGHT LOOMS EVER CLOSER!
Get ready for our special "Guest Night." It's going to be a reprise of last year's venture to New Era Church. The show is "Hot Mikado" on Thursday, May 22. Dinner is chicken breast, parsley potatoes, a green vegetable, salad, rolls, dessert and a beverage. Pricing is on the brochures on each table. This is a FAMILY APPROPRIATE show so you can bring your children and grandchildren. The Trolley can take you from the Holiday Inn to the church if you like at no extra charge. ---- By the way, "The Mikado" by Gilbert and Sullivan (this is the same show with some more modern music) is one of the funniest shows Gilbert and Sulliv an wrote.

THIS WEEK'S ROTARY QUOTE
No quote from Gary, so your editor has something to make you think:
They Walk Among Us and Many Work Retail
He was at the checkout of a K-Mart. The clerk rang up $46.64 charge. He gave her a fifty-dollar bill. She gave him back $46.64. He gave the money back to her and told her that she had made a mistake in HIS favor. She became indignant and informed him she was educated and knew what she was doing, and returned the money again. He gave her the money back .... same scenario! He departed the store with the $46.64.
They Walk Among Us and Many Work Retail
She walked into a Starbucks with a buy-one-get-one-free coupon for a Grande Latte. She handed it to the clerk and he looked over at a little chalkboard that said 'buy one-get one free.' 'They're already buy-one-get-one-free,' he said, 'so I guess they're both free'.
He handed her two free Lattes and she walked out the door.
They Walk Among Us!
He was walking down the beach with some friends when one of them shouted, "Look at that dead bird!"&nb sp; Someone looked up at the sky and said, 'Where?"
They Walk Among Us!
While looking at a house, her sister asked the real estate agent which direction was north because, she explained, she didn't want the sun waking her up every morning. The agent asked, 'Does the sun rise in the north?' When her sister explained that the sun rises in the east, and has for sometime, the agent shook his head and said, 'Oh I don't keep up with all that stuff.'
They Walk Among Us!
His sister has a lifesaving tool in her car designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk.
They Walk Among Us!
She couldn't find her luggage at the airport baggage area, so she went to the lost luggage office and told the man there that her bags never showed up. He smiled and told her not to worry because he was a trained professional and she was in good hands. "Now," he asked her, "has your plane arrived yet?"< br />They Walk Among Us!
While working at a pizza parlor she observed a man ordering a small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6. He thought about it for some time before responding. 'Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces.'
They Walk Among Us, and they Reproduce!

Today's Rotary Moment- International Service is not just about giving money - although tens of millions of dollars are given each year in the name of Rotary's fourth avenue. The act of giving money alone can be satisfying but can also feel impersonal as there is rarely a sense of connection between the donor and the recipient. To Rotarians, the greatest reward of international service is the personal satisfaction of being the bridge-builders to another culture - the joy of compassion in using one's time and talents to help the disadvantaged residents of the global village.
Upcoming Program Chairs are:
July - DeWayne Hopkins
August - Barb Krall
